Chapter 157
In the 57th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid launched an attack in the frontcourt.
Raul Garcia took the ball in the middle, and under the pressure of two Levante defenders, he passed the ball to Lin Rui at the front of the penalty area.
After Lin Rui received the ball, facing the two Levante defenders who came up to block him, he used his own inside cutting skills. He flicked the ball sideways with the outside of his right foot to avoid the rush of one of the defenders, and then before the second defender rushed up, he flicked the ball quickly again, which created a gap.
Lin Rui's feet were very fast, he kept up with the football, and then shot directly into the far corner of the goal with his right foot.
Levante goalkeeper Munua flew to the side and his fingers slightly touched the football.
The football changed direction slightly, then hit the goal post and bounced back.
Munua, who fell to the ground, ignored the pain from his fingertips, and quickly got up and pressed the rebounding football under him.
"Oops! What a pity!"
"Lin Rui's shot was very tricky. Unexpectedly, it was saved by the goalkeeper."
In the live broadcast room, Liu Jian sighed.
Lin Rui on the field saw that the ball he shot was saved, and shook his head helplessly.
It didn't go in like this. His luck in scoring goals today was really not good.
Three minutes later, Atletico Madrid came back.
This time it was Falcao, who went down the right side of the penalty area and sent an inverted triangle pass.
Raul Garcia came up from the middle and pushed the ball.
Unexpectedly, the ball was blocked by the opponent's defender halfway.
Atletico Madrid got a corner kick.
The ball kicked by Gabi went straight to the middle of the penalty area.
There Lin Rui jumped high and headed for the goal, but the ball hit the outside of the goal post and flew out of the bottom line.
Lin Rui patted his head regretfully and turned and ran away.
After that, Atletico Madrid had several chances to score, but they all failed. No score was achieved.
The game time passed by minute by minute.
Seeing that the game time came to the last moment, the players of Atletico Madrid became impatient.
They didn't want their record to end here.
So in the last moments of the game, Atletico Madrid launched a crazy attack.
But things did not go as planned. The more impatient they were, the less likely they were to score a goal.
Until the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score on the field was still 1 to 1.
At the moment the whistle sounded, the home team fans in the stands all cheered. The
Levante players celebrated by high-fiving each other as if they had won.
On the other side, the Atletico Madrid fans could hardly hide their disappointment, and the players were dejected, as if they had lost the game by a large margin.
"We saw the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the score between the two sides was fixed at 1:1."
"This is really not a good result for Atletico Madrid. They are just one step away from setting a new winning streak record."
"Now we can only helplessly share this record with Inter Milan"
"This is undoubtedly a very depressing thing for Atletico Madrid."
"Fortunately, although they failed to break the record of consecutive wins in the top five leagues, they did tie the record, which is also a consolation."
"In addition, their record of 17 consecutive wins also broke the La Liga winning streak record of 16 consecutive wins set by Barcelona in the 10-11 season."
"This can be considered a great achievement. The players of Atletico Madrid can be proud of it."
In the live broadcast room, Liu Jian's eyes were full of disappointment, but he still objectively evaluated Atletico Madrid's achievements.
This gave some comfort to those disappointed fans.
The best player of this game was not awarded to Lin Rui, nor to the striker who scored the goal for Levante, but to Levante's goalkeeper Munua.
This is well deserved. In this game, Munua saved countless Atletico Madrid's must-goals.
It can be said that he was the biggest contributor to Levante's draw with Atletico Madrid. It is only natural that he was awarded the best player of the game.
Back in the locker room, Lin Rui had just come out of the shower when he was stopped by Simeone.
"Lin, come with me to the press conference"
"Me?"
Lin Rui was a little surprised. Usually Simeone rarely asked him to attend press conferences.
"Yes, it's you, come with me."
Simone said and turned to leave first, Lin Rui quickly followed him.
Arriving at the press conference, the audience was already full of reporters.
Levante's head coach Salvador and today's best player, Levante's goalkeeper Munua, had already sat on the podium.
Seeing Simeone leading Lin Rui in, the two smiled and nodded at them.
The reporters in the audience also pressed the shutter, and a flash of lights suddenly lit up.
Simeone and Lin Rui sat on the podium.
Immediately, a reporter started to ask questions
"Mr. Simeone, are you satisfied with today's game?"
Hearing this question, Simeone's face suddenly darkened.
This guy is obviously here to cause trouble.
Looking at the media that the reporter belongs to, it is a local media in Valencia.
No wonder, the other party is here to cause trouble.
Simeone coughed lightly, and then slowly said:"Our players played very hard in this game. Although the final result of the game was just a draw, which makes me a little regretful, but football games are like this. It doesn't mean that you can win the final victory if you have the upper hand in the game. What's more, this is an away game, and I can get a draw in the end. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."
Simeone resolved the other party's difficulties with a light sentence.
This made the reporter who asked the question a little unhappy, and he continued to ask:"But today's game ended your winning streak, don't you care at all?"
Simeone's face became even uglier. However, he still said patiently:"The end of the winning streak is of course an unpleasant thing, but compared to this, I care more about the team's results. As long as our results do not fall behind and we still maintain the first place in the league, even if one or two records are ended, it doesn't really matter."
Simeone's answer was flawless, but it obviously did not satisfy the reporters.
So a reporter turned his attention to Lin Rui next to him.
Another reporter stood up, looked at Lin Rui and said,"Mr. Lin, do you have anything to say about the end of the team's winning streak today?"
Hearing a reporter asking him a question, Lin Rui was slightly stunned, then smiled and said,"Regarding the record, I want to say that we will create this record sooner or later. It's just a little later. After all, there are still 18 rounds of the league to end."
